Texture Batching | Coding a 2D Game Engine in Java #13

Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/4tHeAkxNg7

In this tutorial, I go over how to add texture batching to our current batched renderer. This allows us to bind up to 16 different textures per draw call, which means that you can batch together a lot more quads with different textures for each quad. This is important, because in 2D games, you typically have a variety of assets coming from multiple files, and if you do not want a mega-spritesheet, then you need to enable multiple textures for your batched renderer.
